7 Over-The-Top Snow Day Ideas

The weather report predicts at least a foot of frosty flurries. Faaabulous. Instead of spending your weekend at home planning a beach getaway, embrace the chance for an ultimate blizzard staycation. Here are 7 great ideas on how to bring an exclusive, luxury experience to your living room.

For your body: If your skin feels all winter ashy, try this two-part process. First, rub yourself down with La Prairie's body souffle, which stimulates circulation. Then, soak in the tub with cinnamon-scented Himalayan sea salts. The view from the bathroom will start to look like the Alps, we swear!

Give yourself gold highlights with a glass of champagne. (Really!)

We got this super-cute idea from celebrity hair colorist Kyle White of the Oscar Blandi salon in New York City:

"Comb freshly opened champagne through damp hair, then work the champagne through the hair gently with your fingers and rinse out thoroughly," Kyle says. "Blow dry for extra lift, spritzing champagne directly on roots before blow drying."

Why It Works: "The golden color of the champagne will bring out golden tones in your highlights," says Kyle. "And the consistency and effervescence of champagne gives the hair great volume, shine and glow – regardless of color." Sold!

Do a retreat-worthy yoga reboot.

According to Elisabeth Halfpapp, a co-founder of New York City's luxurious Exhale spa, the winter is the perfect time for a relaxing sanctuary experience. "Snow automatically puts you in a happy spirit," she says.

Her at-home meditation move: "Go outside for a quick walk or face a snowy scene from a window, then turn everything off for a 5-20 minute still meditation," she suggests. "Sit cross-legged, with your palms on your knees. Do a four-count inhale, then a four-count exhale, letting the energy drape down the back of your body like a veil."

Her suggestion for at home boot camp, if you feel like revving things up? "Do a two minute forearm plank. Then, holding on to a heavy chair or a counter, do 30 ballet plies. Then, do a warrior three pose: Lift your extended leg above your butt 30 times on each side. Then, curl your shoulder blades up for 30 seconds, keeping your waist and lower back on the floor. Repeat the workout three times." You can find more of her moves here.

Directions: In a shallow pan, add rum, lemon peel, cinnamon stick, orange peel, coffee beans, and simple syrup. Set the combination on fire! Let it burn for 3 minutes. Put out the flame by adding the coffee and serve in a mug.
